The Cloud Specialist is responsible for developing, proposing, and implementing secure and modern cloud infrastructure solutions on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for various clients.
- Develop and provide cloud computing services (Platform-as-a-Service or Infrastructure-as-a-Service) suggestions/proposals for SME, Enterprise, and various industry verticals.
- Evaluate the requirements, determine actionable tasks and estimates, and provide efforts for business solution build and architecture.
- Design and implement robust security protocols within GCP infrastructure, including Identity and Access Management (IAM), network security (VPC, firewalls), and data encryption (at rest and in transit).
- Ensure security compliance and governance by leveraging GCP tools like Security Command Center (SCC) and aligning with security blueprints/best practices (e.g., least privilege access, organizational design).
- Responsible for technical documentation on solution implementation, including security design documents and compliance reports.
- Perform operational readiness tasks and ensure production acceptance criteria are met, with an emphasis on secure operations and continuous monitoring.
- Respond to platform technical issues, including security-related incidents and anomalies, in a professional and timely manner.
- Work closely with the sales team for cloud-related sales opportunities, ensuring a security-first approach is integrated into all proposals.
- Support Pre-Sales activities, i.e., proposal, systems design, proof-of-concept, demo, workshop conduct, including the presentation of the cloud security architecture and compliance.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 3 - 5 years of relevant experience in computing infrastructure.
- Experience in one or more of the following: cloud migration, data-centre migration, backup & disaster recovery, networking, virtualization, application/server assessment and discovery.
- Strong expertise in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services, especially those related to compute, storage, networking, and security (e.g., Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, VPC, IAM, Cloud Armor, Security Command Center).
- Demonstrated experience with cloud security best practices such as the principle of least privilege and setting up centralized logging and monitoring.
- Strong logical/analytical troubleshooting skills, particularly in identifying and remediating security vulnerabilities.
- Experience in crafting data centre migration plans (rehost / replatform / refactor etc.) for businesses, with a focus on integrating security controls and compliance checks at each stage, is a plus.
- Experience deploying and operating multi/hybrid-cloud platforms, such as Kubernetes, Anthos, etc., with a focus on container security, is a plus.
- Experience deploying and operating CI / CD infrastructure and workflows, including the implementation of DevSecOps practices (e.g., security scanning in the pipeline), is a plus.
